Chapter five hundred and fortieth second victory
Cleaning up the battlefield is a very hard thing.
Because this is a big melee of hundreds of thousands of people.
Although the Ming army won a great victory, it also suffered certain casualties.
However, compared with the complete annihilation of the Qing army, it is indeed nothing.
What is even more gratifying is that Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and Shi Lang were all captured alive.
Li Laiheng and others did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so they immediately sent people to escort the three thieves to Nanjing and handed them over to the verdict of the Holy Emperor.
Everyone knew very well that the stumbling blocks of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition were cleared after this battle.
Li Laiheng even wanted to take advantage of the victory to enter Fujian and Guangdong and recover the two places.
Of course, all this has to be subject to the will of the Emperor.
There is an example of Feng Shuangli being surrendered to the battle against Feng Shuangli. They don’t want to follow Feng Shuangli’s footsteps.
Besides, it is not a bad thing to take a break. The soldiers have just experienced a bloody battle and need time to recover.
After all, everyone can fight a tough battle in one go, but they can’t fight several tough battles in one go.
Li Laiheng was still very satisfied with the spirit shown by the soldiers in this battle. The soldiers became more and more confident the more they fought. Many moves that they didn't dare to do several years ago are now easy to capture, and they are completely based on instinct.
With this momentum, the Northern Expedition should not have too many problems.
Today, I am the Holy Lord.
Li Laiheng sighed secretly in his heart.
The Ming Dynasty was located in a corner of the southwest and could turn the tables in adversity, which was absolutely inseparable from the command of the emperor.
Without the emperor's plan to attack Huguang, the Ming Dynasty is still in a state of perseverance!
Li Laiheng is now very grateful to the decision to join the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Qing Dynasty.
After all, no one wants to be an opponent of such a wise and powerful emperor.
He only hopes that with these great contributions he has made, he can one day write his name into Lingyan Pavilion and be famous in history.
As for Yuan Zongdi, he was a little regretful.
Although he perfectly acted as a bait in this battle, luring Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao to attack the city, he did not perform as outstanding as Li Laiheng.
His Majesty the Emperor must be rewarded according to his merits. In this way, Yuan Zongdi suffered a loss.
But there was no way. All the plans were done in advance, and Yuan Zongdi agreed at the time.
It is definitely impossible to rely on His Majesty the Emperor to treat a bowl of water. Yuan Zongdi only hopes that his brothers can leave some soup for him when they eat meat.
Zhang Yong seemed very loyal and said that he would say a few beautiful words to Yuan Zongdi in his memorial. After all, if Yuan Zongdi had not seduced him so thoroughly, Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi would not have taken the bait so easily.
The Ming army was able to win the two of them so easily, which was inseparable from Yuan Zongdi's efforts.
Yuan Zongdi didn't believe much about this.
After all, Zhang Yong is from Xiying, and his own camp has not made enough contributions. How could he think of Yuan Zongdi, a foreign family member?
Just listen to this kind of scene.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of War, military merits were approved according to the head level after the war.
Therefore, the most important thing the Ming army did after the war was to count the heads, and then after some simple anti-corrosion treatment, they sent people to Nanjing.
Since there were so many Qing soldiers killed, this project was huge.
It was really shocking to see the heads being pulled away on a ox cart.
Then, the bodies of clearing soldiers were dug up to dig a large pit and landing the pit.
In order to prevent the occurrence of epidemics, it is necessary to deal with these corpses in a timely manner.
Li Laiheng doesn't want to cause a disaster
Jiangxi is not far from Nanjing, and because the soldiers who reported the victory were replaced by three horses, they quickly brought the news to Nanjing.
Zhu Youlang was ecstatic after learning about the great victory in Jiangxi.
Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi were indeed allowed to calculate.
If a person is not satisfied with his heart, he will swallow an elephant, and you two want to compete with the Ming Dynasty for the world.
Now it’s great that the world hasn’t fought for me to get myself in.
But for the Ming Dynasty, this is definitely a good thing.
If Li Laiheng and others wiped out the Qing army as stated in the report, then the Ming Dynasty could have taken advantage of this wave of momentum to go south to capture Fujian and Guangdong.
Of course, everything has to be decided after the first-level transportation is sent to Nanjing for inventory.
You can't believe whatever Li Laiheng and the others say.
Besides, the soldiers also need some time to rest, and they can adjust their state.
According to what was said in the report, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Shi Lang and others were also captured alive and were on their way to Nanjing.
Zhu Youlang is very satisfied with this.
If any of them were let go, there would be endless troubles.
After all, the three of them have considerable appeal. After returning to Fujian, Guangdong, they can pull up an army if they just shout.
But it’s different now. Even if Guangdong and Fujian can still mobilize troops, but those who don’t have a lead are still a mess of mess.
As long as the Ming army is pressing down, it should be easily taken down.
Huh, Zhu Youlang let out a long breath and thought it was really not easy.
Zhu Youlang didn't expect that he could reach this day.
He originally thought that he was just to save some Han men as much as possible so that the Ming Dynasty would not be destroyed in the long river of history.
Who would have thought that hard work would change the situation in the world and even have the momentum to unify the world?
This is really too difficult.
After the First World War, the Ming Dynasty was full of momentum and indeed had the capital to unify the world.
As long as you take steady steps, Zhu Youlang feels that the opportunity is great.
During these days, he had been discussing the Northern Expedition with Zhang Huangyan and others and formulated a very detailed plan.
In Zhu Youlang's plan, the Northern Expedition was divided into three main directions.
One of them was to attack Hanzhong from Sichuan and then march into Guanzhong.
The other is to attack Henan from Huguang. This side is also the main direction of the Ming army's attack.
In addition, he attacked Shandong from Huai'an and Xuzhou.
The Qing army hoarded heavy troops in Shandong and Suksaha was in charge, which was the most difficult journey.
However, Zhu Youlang will also give enough resources to not be afraid of bones being difficult to chew. As long as the soldiers use their lives, even the hardest bones can be chewed down.
As for sea routes, it can only be used as an auxiliary, not as a main attack direction.
From time to time, harassing the coastal areas of Shandong and even Tianjin through navy may have unexpected results.
There is actually another step in getting rid of these.
As a vassal state, North Korea had sent envoys to express his loyalty to Zhu Youlang, and said that it would attack Liaodong at the right time to gain space for the Ming army and attract the attention of the Qing army.
When is the right time?
Of course, it was when the Ming army launched a large-scale northern expedition.
Since there is a North Korean guy rushing to be a dog licking, Zhu Youlang is naturally happy to see it.
The only hidden danger is probably Wu Sangui.
After this person won Yunnan, he has never been exposed, but Zhu Youlang knew very well that Wu Sangui was a tough guy.
Although he is not as impulsive as Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, he will definitely bite Daming without hesitation whenever he has the chance.
